Donald Duke brought his Big Boy Swag to Calabar Biker's Festival

The 2nd edition of the Calabar Bikers Parade held over the weekend was a fantastic display of Bikers with their various Bikes and Costumes.

The Event did not start
as planned following a failure in the engine of the Cross River Governor,
Senator Ben Ayade’s bike , however the former Governor Donald Duke stole the
show with a Batman styled bike.

The Bikers parade powered by the Metallic bikers club was scheduled
for 2:00PM but due to the inability of the Cultural parade to kick off
by 8:00 AM as planned but by 2:30PM, the bikers parade began at about
5:00 PM.

Cyclists also participated in the event which saw them go round the 12 kilometers Carnival route with spectators cheering.

Governor of Cross Rivers State Ben Ayade and his Wife

Sources say Ayade had mounted his 2014 model GG Taurus-Trike
motorcycle with his wife only for it to seize due to engine failure
forcing him to park it and bringing to an abrupt end, the 2nd edition of the Bikers Carnival which began last year.

Former Governor Duke stole the show with what can be described as a
Batcycle Trike with findings revealing the trike may have been produced
by ‘Game Over Cycles in Portland, Oregon of the United States.

Duke cruised around town with his wife Onari, his brother George Duke
whose Trike also developed a fault and his daughter Xerona who was
ahead of him.

Also participating were Hard Riders bikers club and Hot Wheels bikers club.
The crowd was thrilled by metallic show boys who performed several
stunts with their Jincheng AX 100 motorcycles while others performed
wheelies and banked hard while on high speeds.

The National Association of liberation Tigers (NALT); a civil society social movement of over 10,000 Nigerian
citizens from different disciplines across the globe, joins the rest of the world to condemn the recent attacks on
foreigners especially Nigerians and other Africans nationals in South Africa.

This sad turn of events is a departure
from the continent's ongoing re-visioning of African integration as a panacea for African solutions to African
problems.
NALT decries that this is a set back to our collective will as Africans in stretching out hands of friendship and
goodwill across borders.
This further undermines the position of our continent as the new investment destination
of the world as well the emerging global power block.

I gave a lecture last week on the topic above, it was important i let traditional commercial bankers know that there is a gust of wind sweeping through the financial industry in Nigeria and it was important to familiarize ourselves with these changes and prepare to position ourselves to provide superior financial services to our customers.

After the lecture they were mummurings that i evoked fear in some of my colleagues, querying the security of their jobs,that was not my intention .but it would be wrong of me not to open their eyes to new developments in the financial stratosphere.

We haven’t worked together for
almost a decade, but Christina was my first – and best – work wife. She picked
me up when I fell backwards off the stage at the office Christmas party, and
let me crash on her sofa the following year when I lost all my possessions and
couldn’t get into my flat. We’ve travelled from Caracas to Kiev together and
still go on holiday when we can, children and partners allowing. When she got
married I was her bridesmaid. But the defining moment when I
realised she was my work wife happened eight years ago when I was made
redundant from the company we worked at together. It was my first job, and I’d
been there almost four years. I kind of knew it was time to leave, and it
wasn’t the biggest shock in the world but, still, no one really expects that
conversation on a Monday afternoon. I wouldn’t have bought all my lunches for
the week from the supermarket next door an hour earlier if I had. After being told I was probably
losing my job, I went straight to the pub …
